Hey everyone,
Couple of years ago I stumbled across the Scottish 4000s bi-athlon (http://www.lamm.co.uk/scottish4000/ set up by Martin Stone in 2003) and have had it in the back of my mind since.
This year, I find myself with a lot of extra time to focus on training, and figured why not set it as a goal for the year. I'm planning on doing the same format as the lamm sets out - run the route with the ~100km cycle in between.
I'm by no means an 'elite category OMM athlete', but feel like it's a reasonable and challenging goal for me.
Hoping to get some tips or feedback on my training for it - I've started on a 20 week iron man training plan (https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/training-plans-view.asp?... - just finishing week 5) and feel like I'm making good progress and should be on track for attempting around August time.
Essentially the only differences I've made to the 20 week plan is no swimming (I will do some core/other workout instead) and I've also switched out the stride workouts for hill reps (or I do a mix of the two). I started to document my progress through the training plan (https://functionandmovement.com/ - no ads or anything), taking notes of niggles and injuries, how my body is feeling etc, and hopefully it will be something interesting for me to read in the future.
I'd be keen to hear if anyone has any alternative training I should be doing, other things I should be tracking on weekly basis, or anything really.
Thanks!
